Did YA kill this category?

This used to where people understood dive brakes, cowl flaps and feather four. It seems now this is a game and dumber channel. Go ahead and report me Skipper we know you're one of the wannabes

Update:

Which answer was incoherent? I know I've F'd-up a few times but which one tickles you and how many combat hours under your skinny belt.

    No, complete idiots killed this category.

    Half the people on here who claim to be pilots have probably never flown an airplane, and half of those who actually have experience are condescending pricks who attack people with legitimate questions.

    "This used to where people understood dive brakes, cowl flaps and feather four."

    I have been on this site a while now, and I don't remember it ever being like that. There have been some regular trolls that took this section down a couple of notches over the past few years, but I have seen you ask questions like this in the past and I think you are expecting this forum to be something it's not. This section seems on par with the rest of Yahoo Answers, frequented primarily by adolescents asking inane questions without giving it much thought, with a few trolls and wannabes interspersed throughout. Every now and then a legitimate question comes up and sometimes there are decent answers. I try to pick out questions where I my perspective may be relevant, and I hope that I have given a few helpful answers. But I don't see this as a proper aviation forum and I don't think it's possible to make it one. My approach is to read what few questions interest me, try to help a few wannabes when I can, and leave the rest alone. I go to justhelicopters or other similar sites when I want (slightly) more serious, or at least more specific, content. Bottom line, I think the kinds of discussions you are looking for will be rare here.

    Source(s): I have never flown an airplane. I claim to be a pilot.

    Not at all. You did with your nonsensical ramblings, child like rants, incoherent answers and calling out other members.
